Resonance
03:40

Caress the gentle flowing of your hair
Heartbeat quickens as our thoughts slowly subside
Your touch meets with mine, together we ignite
The world was conceived to make this moment just for us tonight
We belong
We are one
We combine
We are sound and we are silence
Our souls hum in resonance
Space between is ever moving, never stationary
Blur the line of flesh that once divided you and me
Ecstatic breath our senses mesh and we become the beat
Tonight in this moment the whole world we will conceive
We belong
We are one
We entwine
We are love and we are grace
Our souls hum in resonance
We give life

Step Aside

Letting go of all the love you never knew
It’s not easy now, is it?
You know it’s not what you want but you don’t know what you do
You just kind of go with it.
Too old to just get up and start again,
Too young to imagine the rest of your life with him,
The money, the home, the pets, the friends you pull in half,
The job, the garden, the kids you never had.
Letting go it takes a lot of time to think it through
So you don’t regret it.
The pull of desire leads you heart away but still you stay
Don’t know if you should let it.
Mondays anxious fears kept you up too late
By Wednesday it’s not so bad, you’ll just accept your fate
Friday decide to take a ride and leave the state,
But then you wait,
Paralyzed.
Push past the inertia to move.
Draw your breath, forget what you have to lose.
It feels so slow when you first fight gravity’s pull
When you’re so uncertain of your final goal.
But you find the strength,
And you break the past,
Apologize,
Close your eyes,
And step aside.

Michigan Winter
03:57
|

It’s just another Michigan winter
Starts in November, ends in May
The frost on the windshield, the frost on the grass
The blue sky gives way as the earth turns to gray
Baby, I’m sleepwalkin’, don’t mind me, that’s just the coffee talkin’
Scrape the ice off my eyes, start it up and then drive
We’ll be warm by the time we arrive
Just in time to go back outside
The slush in the potholes, the salt on my shoes
I break and the snow slides, the freezing road construction crews
Baby, I just keep driving, slip on until we arrive
And I scrape the sleep from my eyes, pour a third cup of java jive
Keeps me goin’ until my break time
Do it all again at 5

Tonight's The Night
03:42
|
|||
I’ve been waiting for your day
You’re moving forward never knowing I’m right behind
I know you better than you know
I’ve seen your future, your time has arrived!
Tonight’s the night we meet And pride, it cuts you like a knife
Tonight’s the night, Another day won’t matter when I’ve had my way
You start to pray, you try to fight, it’s okay the end’s in sight
Tonight’s the night, tonight’s the night, tonight
I’ll see you answer for your crimes
It’s only natural
You try to stop me with a smile
But I am justified
Tonight’s the night we meet And pride, it cuts you like a knife
Tonight’s the night, Another day won’t matter when I’ve had my way
You start to pray, you try to fight, it’s okay the end’s in sight
Tonight’s the night, tonight’s the night, tonight
Fill the need
Fill the space
Fill the hunger
Fill the pain
Tonight, tonight
Tonight’s the night
Tonight, tonight!

Don't Say Goodbye
03:51
|
|||
We're not the same, you and I
One of us true, the other flying
The trip was fun but the road got rough
I caught your meaning just soon enough
You showed me freedom and you gave your love
I played the game, and did it well enough
You've taught me so much
How to separate my feelings from a ****
I'll leave us with a thicker skin
And a new place where I begin
Don't say goodbye
Maybe we'll come together
another place, another time
Don't tell me lies
I know the signals, read the rules
And I'm not crying, not in front of you.
I'd rather leave an open door
Hoping someday you might feel more
Don't say goodbye
Although in short intensity
You really got your claws in me
Don't tell me lies
I know the signals, read the rules,
I'll keep my space and I'll keep my cool.
